Return of the Phoenix Lady

It was another dark and windy night. The cool autumn wind was blowing everywhere, bringing a touch of coolness to people.

This place cannot be compared with the Ice Country at all. The only thing that is similar to the Ice Country is that the temperature is generally much different from the other three countries, only one is slightly higher and the other is slightly lower.

So in this kind of weather, it is actually much more comfortable.

After Han Xing finished dinner, in order to avoid the extremely narcissistic Hong Mingzhu, she stayed in the room. Huo Aoxuan wanted to chat with Han Xing again, but was rejected by Han Xing on the grounds of being tired, so he had to leave in shame.

In the pitch-black room, the only light was the starlight shining in from the window.

Han Xing sat by the window, looking at the stars in the night sky, thinking of her family, Mo Qingyuan, her friends... and her brother Yang! She wondered how they were doing? Especially brother Yang. Although the old man told her not to worry, how could she not worry? Brother Yang was alone in that place where masters were rampant. What if he was bullied by the old man or others? What if he couldn't adapt to the new environment? What if he was lonely all alone? Countless worries flashed through Han Xing's mind, and finally turned into a sigh. Although they were separated by two sides, and she still didn't have the ability to rush over to save him, it wouldn't be long! She promised! She had confidence in herself and in him. She believed that soon, not long after, she would set foot on Tianwai Island and rescue him! By the way, teach that stinky old man a lesson! Let him know that she is not a soft persimmon that can be squeezed at will!

Han Xing blinked her eyes gently and looked at the night sky. It was very quiet and beautiful. It was time...

Just as I closed the window and was about to move, I heard a faint sound of footsteps coming from the yard outside. Judging from the footsteps, it should be a woman. Could it be... Hong Mingzhu? Oh my God! If it is really her, then it is really troublesome!

With a patient temperament, Han Xing quietly slipped back into bed, lowered the bed curtains, and then waited quietly.

Soon, there was a soft knock on the door, and she was answered by silence.

After a while, there were two more knocks on the door, but there was still no movement inside. Hong Mingzhu, perhaps losing her patience, whispered at the door, "Master, it's Mingzhu. Mingzhu wants to see you... Can Mingzhu come in?"

Han Xing continued to remain silent, hoping that she would think he was asleep and then go back obediently.

However, this strategy obviously failed. Silence is not enough to deal with such a shameless woman! Especially this nymphomaniac and narcissistic cousin!

There was a strange sound coming from the door panel, and then the door was opened!

Han Xingmo, if she had known this would happen, she would have refused directly, maybe she could have stopped this woman.

"Young Master, are you asleep?" Hong Mingzhu's deliberately lowered voice was heard in the room.

To prevent this bold woman from lifting her bed curtains, Han Xing had no choice but to speak out. She pretended to be awakened from a dream and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Who!"

The woman's footsteps finally stopped. Han Xing could vaguely see through the gauze that Hong Mingzhu finally stopped moving forward and stood still.

"It's Mingzhu, sir." Hong Mingzhu's pretentious voice sounded.

Han Xing said coldly: "What's the matter?"

Hong Mingzhu also heard Han Xing's displeasure. Thinking that she had broken into someone's bedroom at night and disturbed their sweet dreams, it was natural for her to be angry. So she had to apologize: "Sir, it is indeed Mingzhu's fault to disturb you so late, but...but..." Hong Mingzhu bit her lip. She was really embarrassed and didn't know what to say next.

Han Xing didn't want to waste any more time with her. Otherwise, it would be dawn by the time they finished chatting, and how would she proceed with her plan? She didn't want to waste the entire night on this narcissistic woman, so she ordered her to leave, saying coldly, "Miss, if you have nothing else to do, please leave on your own. I'm sorry I won't see you off. It's late at night, and a man and a woman alone in a room together, if someone were to find out, I'm afraid it would cause gossip, and that would tarnish your reputation."

"It's okay!" Hong Mingzhu shouted impulsively. She didn't expect the young master to care about her so much! He thought so much about her! She was so touched!

It doesn’t matter to you, but it does to me! She really wanted to go out and knock that troublesome cousin unconscious, and then drag her out, Han Xing thought angrily while lying on the bed.

"By the way, sir, Mingzhu doesn't know your name yet?" Hong Mingzhu asked.

"willow."

"Oh, Mr. Liu, Mingzhu's surname is Hong. She is the niece of the current queen, and her father is the emperor's uncle." Hong Mingzhu introduced herself shyly.

"Yeah." Han Xing responded lightly.

Hong Mingzhu pouted her lips in slight dissatisfaction, but then she realized that this Mr. Liu must be of extraordinary status to be unsurprised by her own identity. If he made a fuss, it would only tarnish her image of perfection. Thinking of this, her fondness for him increased. No, no! Hong Mingzhu shook her head. This couldn't go on. She had come here specifically to discuss this matter. How could she let herself be fooled by a handsome man again?

"Mr. Liu! Mingzhu came to you tonight to talk about...our business!" Hong Mingzhu seemed to have finally mustered up the courage and spoke.

Han Xing raised her eyebrows. "Between us"? She didn't remember anything happening between her and this narcissistic girl!

Then, Hong Mingzhu spoke again, her voice firm: "Mr. Liu, it's impossible for us!"

Han Xing's mouth twitched. Impossible? When can they come over? What's wrong with this woman's brain? Her ideas are really amazing!

Han Xing said "hmm" lightly to show that he was listening, and at the same time confirmed what she said, so that she wouldn't have any wild thoughts and think that he was ignoring her because he was angry.

Unexpectedly, Han Xing only guessed the beginning correctly, but could not imagine the result.

The woman lowered her head sadly, her voice faintly tinged with tears as she said pitifully, "Master Liu, Mingzhu knows you blame me. You agreed so readily because you didn't want to embarrass Mingzhu! You care so much about Mingzhu, but Mingzhu..."

As soon as Han Xing said he would break her fantasy, she immediately spoke first: "Master Liu, Mingzhu has been with the prince cousin for so many years, and she is destined to become the crown princess and the future queen. As for you, although Mingzhu likes you very much, for the future of the Fire Country, Mingzhu has to hurt Master's heart! Please understand Mingzhu!" After that, she ran out without giving Han Xing a chance to explain.

Han Xing sat on the bed blankly, looking at the empty room speechlessly. This woman was really narcissistic! However, it was okay this way. After all, she had figured it out herself, so maybe she wouldn't bother her anymore.

After waiting for a while and making sure there was no more movement, Han Xing rolled over and got out of bed. In a flash, he disappeared from the spot.
